Veloce2
Veloce2 accelerates block and full SoC RTL simulations during all phases of the design process. Veloce2 enables pre-silicon testing and debug at hardware speeds, using real-world data, while both hardware and software designs are still fluid.

Key benefits
- Improves end product quality by increasing the total verification cycles on the design before committing to silicon prototypes
- Reduces silicon spins due to functional problems by enabling full-system integration testing before first silicon
- Moves software off the project’s critical path by allowing debugging on emulated hardware early in the design process
- Improves ROI by becoming the verification hub for simulation and emulation of SoC designs
The Veloce2 product family includes:
- Scalable verification platforms with capacities from 12 million to 2 billion gates
- Common configuration and debug software across the Veloce family
- Simulator-like debug environment
- 100% internal DUT visibility
- Network accessible, multi-user systems
Veloce2 hardware and software solutions allow design teams to quickly create reconfigurable hardware representations of new SoC designs and leverage verification investments across the project. This reduces the risk of design flaws in pre-silicon testing by verifying the SoC's compliancy and interoperability with industry-standard protocols, thus reducing overall project schedules and costs.
